It’s amazing how willingly and without a second thought, people post pictures of their life – often very unsightly.
The rental market can be very funny. But only in those cases when you do not need to urgently look for an apartment, but you can just sit on ad sites, leafing through the photos. You can consider examples of interior design, sometimes funny just to tears. Here’s how in this photo, for example.
Okay, I can’t take the bathroom to another place due to the peculiarities of communications. But is it really important to make the partition transparent? By the way, the bathroom can also be like this – with a claim to be unique. Just look at this boombox above the tank!
But more often in the ads they use techniques that are designed to mask the flaws of the apartment. For example, the fact that it is simply not cleaned, there is a bunch of unnecessary things and garbage lying around. For example, an ad with a bunch of pictures. But out of nine photographs, six are a balcony. Glazed, special pride. The other three are a bathroom to highlight the new renovation. The rest of the area, apparently, does not matter. Or it’s just scary to look at her – you can’t figure it out until you personally come.
Some landlords (this is what people who rent out their mansions are called) prefer to photograph the apartment piece by piece. But not by rooms, as one might think, but by very small fragments: a piece of a wall in a bathroom, for example, a corner of a bed or a refrigerator. Such attention to detail would be understandable if there were also general shots. But they are not. A special chic is to post a blurry photo in which you can’t make out anything at all.
And the most interesting “trick” of realtors or (more likely) owners is to photograph the situation in such a way that it would be impossible to understand absolutely nothing. For example, against the light: the picture shows a bright square of the window, hanging in the dark. It is not clear how this can attract a potential tenant. But it masks the possible disadvantages of the apartment. And when you meet, you can persuade.
However, some homeowners do not hide the details of their life at all and post photos as they are, without even bothering to sweep. And the descriptions apply the appropriate: “the walls are strong, the floor is not rotten.” Apparently, this is enough to find someone who wants to remove (or even buy) a wreck. And we have collected several such photos – it would be better if they were not.
